went and broke in the door and free
fight ensued. Warrants have been is

this county, on Saturday night at about
midnight, Peter Betters, colored man,
made desperate attempt at murder and
rape upon an old cOlored lady, Martha
Thomas, aged nearly seventy-fiYe years.
He gained entrance to her log cabin by
digging trench from the outside and
coming up from the hole into the room
IN which the old lady was sleeping. A
most desperate struggle ensued,i in which
the old lady was terribly injured, and
was unconscious when found. The
alarm was given and the assailant ar
rested, but he broke through the guard
and escaped. The neighborhood was
greatly excited over the affair and the
fugitive negro was hunted down. In the
fair grounds, where the cyclone played
such fearful havoc some time ago,
there are many trees bent blythe storm
and making excellent galloWs. To one
OF these the dead body of Betters was
found hanging this morning. cold and
dead: Whether hung by the mob or his
own hands cannot be determined at this
time, but it is generally known that the
work was quietly done by the infuriated
citizens OF Jamestown in the dead hour
Of night.

Crop Prospects,

MONTREAL, Jnne 13.-The Canadian
Pacific Railway Telegraph company has
collected crop reports from all points of
the Northwest and Manitoba. and with
hardly a single exception the prospects
are said to be very much better than
last year, and a plentiful harvest is ex-
pected. In Rosenfeld and several other
places in the vicinity there has been no
rain since May 26, and the crops were
very backward in that vicinity on that
account, but on Friday night and Satur-
day there were heavy rains all over the
country, followed by warm weather,
and reports from all sources yesterday
were unanimous in saying that the
try was settled. Wheat in some places
is seventeen inches high. Farmers and
business men never felt more confident
of a good crop than at present.

Yachting For Pewter Mugs.

ToMPKINsvILI.E, l.. l., June 13.-In
the Corinthian regatta to-day there was
fine breeze blowing off Sandy Hook
and Sandy Hook light ship, though
teere was little in the start or finish.
The cutter Stranger led from early in
the race till the wind came on and then
the Atlantic and Galatea went ahead.
The Atlantic finally passed the Galatia
and was not afterwards headed. The
English yawl Cytheria in her first
American race was left behind at the
start, but was sailing well outside when
her topmast was carried away. Eight
cen yachts started. On corrected time
the Culprit Fay beat the Beatrice II IN
8 sec in the sixth class, the Kangaroo
beat the Alex + 3 IN sec in the sew
enth class, and the Stranger had a
walk over in the first class. The At
lantic, Galatea and the other large boats
are becalmed in the lower bay. The
Atlantic is nearest home and will prob
nbly win. The feature OF to-day's race
is that none but amateurs are allowed
on the yachts. The prizes are pewter
mugs. One is given to each member of
the crew of the winning crafts.
The big fellows finally drifted in with
the tide and the Atlantic won. beating
the Galatea by s m 81 sec.

least disturbed by the story of Billy Mo
loney's coming. He volunteered the

Mr.. Nicoll denied that lie was the all-

are now two vacant seats in the Jury
box. The defense has exhausted all its

The Chicago Boodlers.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The sixth week
of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS trial opened
this morning with the public interest in
the case unabated. The cross-examina-
ton of Ed Mcdonald was concluded
early in the day, and Warden McGarigle
was called to the stand to testify in his
own behalf. Like Mcdonald, McGarigle
denied everything testified to by Con-
tractor Mic Schneider, the informer.
The damaging allegations of Architect
Fabre and Messenger Michael were also
denied. McGarigle denied particularly
the testimony of the coal merchant
Abbott, who swore he had given Nc
Garigle Sl1,GO0 to secure the county
coal contract. DR.. Murphy, attending
physician at the county hospital, and
Chief Clerk Doherty, who were present
when the alleged bribery occurred, gave
evidence tending to corroborate McGari-
gle. 1t is probable that the testimony
will all be in tomorrow. Four speeches
will be made to the jury by counsel for
the state and four by counsel for the
defense.

ROCHESTER,, June 13.-The sturgeon
poison affair was much more serious
affair, so far as numbers are concerned,
than was supposed Saturday. Over $50
people in this city alone were poisoned
by the stuff. The most serious cases
are the Milo Jacks family, who have
been delirious ever since, and two
ladies within few days of confinement.
Any number of people are seriously
i'll. The sturgeon was sold to Mathew
son and Girnbert, the grocers, by a

i'll now. An examination by Dos.

THE EXPLOITATION
of September coffee would probably be
reduced from 2,250,00 bags to considera-
bly, less than 100000 bags. Such
step, by reducing the supply will bull
the market and as a result this an
nouncement was.gratefully received. The
coffee brokers' offices were occupied,
contrary to all custom, late into the
night by the brokers and their acquaint-
ance. The general opinion seems to be
that the market has touched bottom and
will be stronger tomorrow, but no one
can predict this with any surity. The
panic has resulted in a sudden influx of
kilograms upon the brokers, one of
which from Howe, France, says that
coffee market there has risen three
francs, sixty points to-day owing to er-
rOneOuS quotations from New York.
Thus 1t would seem that the bulls must
have taken advantage of the panic and
cabled heavy advance instead of the
actual decline.
